For each new motorcycle model there is a rush from dealers and from independent shops to become the first to customize it and to make it known by the largest number of bikers. Even if customization is limited, like in this case, to a 4-day labor job and a very limited number of motorcycle brand genuine accessories, it’s an opportunity to imagine what a full custom job could be.

As you know, although the new Fat Boy is more muscular than ever (a 160mm front and 240 mm rear solid-disc wheels), it is 29 lbs lighter than ever and benefits from a 34% stiffer chassis overall.

i like it alot ….i know you can change the rear shock preload on the new softails but this bike looks lowered, maybe new way the fender sets.. ??.. Never really cared the mirrors below the handlebars tho

I recently rode the new Fat Boy and was surprised, it was extremely comfortable for me at 5′-10″, suspension was spot, on handled great except tight corners and the 114 engine had plenty or go. I would definitely love to have one in my garage and the only changes I’d make would be to uncork the motor and the addition of some sort of windshield!
